Ok, well sorry about the first chapter being so short and thanks for telling me to make it longer and expand on it. I didn't actually think anyone would read it but it's good that I have some reviewers. You see, it was going to be a one-shot at first but I decided not to make it a one-shot because it was kind of late when I started typing it so, anyways here's the next chapter. Tell me what you honestly think about it. Thanks La Sylphide, human-amusement, and Royal Jester for reviewing and hope you like this one better than the last one. Review! Oh and I've decided to increase the story length cause that length is too short for me at the moment.


It was a rainy Saturday evening at the Malfoy manor. Draco Malfoy was lying on his bed staring up at the ceiling when his mother knocked on the door and said, "Draco?"

"Yes, Mother?"

"You are aware that your father is having guests tonight, right?"

"Of course, I've been reminded at least 200 times about it. How could I forget?" Draco asked sulkily.

His mother came up to him and sat on his bed. "I know that you hate these dinners but for your father's sake, please try to behave yourself at the dinner today. They even have a daughter your age. I'm sure you two would get along very well."

"Great, another girl. Hope she doesn't compliment me too much like the last one. Why is it, mother, that father always invites those guests who have daughters?" he asked looking at her with hatred in his eyes.

"I'm not answering that," Narcissa replied stiffly. "But please Draco, be there on time today." Then she left the room.

At six thirty sharp, the guests arrived. Much to Draco's horror, it was the Parkinson family. "Hello Draco. Isn't it a coincidence seeing you here?" she asked clinging onto his arm.

With an inward groan he murmured, "I wish it was."

"Let's go sit down, Draco. Here you sit next to me." She dragged him into the chair next to her and began chatting to him about what she had done over the summer.

"How have you been Draco? I've missed you so much. I'm so glad that summer is almost over. Just two more weeks till school opens up and then I can see you all the time. So, what did you do over the summer?" she asked, looking at him adoringly.

"Hmm? What? Oh, nothing."

Not seeing that he wasn't paying any attention to her, she kept on talking. "Well, that's too bad. Over the summer, Daddy took me and Mother to France where we visited the haunted parts of Paris. Can you imagine my horror when we actually saw a ghost? It was all bloody and its head was missing. It was horrible. But afterwards, we went to this sweet little café in Paris and ate the best chocolate that you could ever imagine." She kept on talking like this for an hour. How he did not listen to her, I don't know.

"Well, Lucius," said Pansy's dad. "It looks like they're enjoying themselves."

"What do you mean by that, Parkinson?" He turned to look at Draco and Pansy and found Pansy talking to Draco saying something about pink shoes while Draco had one elbow on the table and was trying to make a noise by running his finger around the edge of his glass. "I'm very sorry about that Philip. I'll have Draco be excused from the table."

"No, it's all right Lucius. No one ever listens to what she says. Let him stay at the table."

"No, that boy has got to learn some manners. Draco, would you like to be excused from the table?"

"Yes Father."

"Then you are excused," Lucius replied glaring at him as he walked out of the dining room without saying good bye to the Parkinson family.

As he walked out of the room, he could still hear Pansy talking, except, she didn't realize that he wasn't there anymore. That went well he thought.


Review please!
